Lmao, my name isn't literal. I do not quickscope often, only in CQC when the situation calls for it. Its a username get over it for one. Second, obviously you lack the ablility to read as I said I'm a very decent player and rarely get on these deathstreaks. Please read before posting your ignorant responses.

Anywho I guess people see things from a differnce prespective than I. Yes, it is great to dominate games and all, but I seriously pefer closer more jammed packed games. I like it when the scores see-saw and every momment of the game means something, not just dominate everyone and have them rage quit. No thats just boring. As i already said though I beleive CoD should follow uncharted and give help to the lower to keep them within at least a striking distance to win. Also, more focus on gun gameplay rather than having killstreaks do the work for you, which this game lacks as well. Still an enjoyable game for me regardless.

Your name say's it all QuickscopingCHILD and you say yes, LOL you need them because you die all the time trying to quickscope, bet when you hit a lucky shot you scream like a little girl jump up and drop your controller and then your dead. does it give you wood to blow someone up with dead mans hand? my answer is NO

YES.

I beleive there should be deathstreaks in this game. Why people complain about THESE deathstreaks I have no clue. There is no annoying or overbearing deathstreak on the list. Only one that comes close is final stand which really is not that hard to deal with. It isn't like painkiller is in this game, correct folks? I perfer these because it evens the playing field for players being put into games agaisnt big (campy) compeition. When you face people like that there is no chance. I beleive this game should take an approach like Uncharted 3. For example, when losing in teamdeathmatch your team gets bonous, like kills counting for 2, or 1 person on the opposing team is worth 5. Things like that to keep things even and fun for everyone. Clearly, deathstreaks don't deliver that, but at least give it something. Before people say I get killed a lot for saying yes to this, No. 1.6 KD 2w/l playing solo majority of the time. I'm a decent player.

the support killsteak wouldn't be so bad had the stealthbomber not been included. Deathstreaks are good in theory but MW3 is definitly not the type of game where you can base ideas off of numbers. This game needs things tested extensively to determine if they're worth incorporating and I don't think deathstreaks got that kind of attention

I hate it on the principal that you should not be rewarded for sucking. Same as support.

I stand in between on this issue. I see where they are aggravating, and I see the usefulness.

Its aggravating, when you loose your streak, and so forth.

To some people it is a boost like, the defense of a football team getting an interception on the 5 yd line in the 4th qtr to set the offense up for a winning drive.

I guess it all depends on what end of the spectrum you fall on. I use my death streak 2-3 times a night and I only play for about 2-3 hours a night.

They can stay or go, makes no difference to me.

Final stand is awesome because of how much it pisses people off. i love it when i drop in to final stand and kill the same guy 3 times in a row because he got pissed off with me and wanted revenge on me. don't like it? then go play a different game.

Well it looks like the general consensus is a no

There shouldn't be deathstreaks (super annoying, you basically get punished for destroying the other team...) or support streaks ( uav, stealth bomber and EMP spam is pissing me off). The only deathstreaks that should be allowed to be in this game are stuff like Copycat, Juiced or Hollow points...

Re: Should there even be deathstreaks

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:47:34 GMT

Yeah that would be easy. No new game mode etc.. just have the choice to have no death streaks turned on.

Re: Should there even be deathstreaks

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:36:25 GMT

Useless juiced. Sure on most cases it isnt worth while. But Ive encountered a veiw juiced ppl that can just fly through bullets and insta knife you cause they have juice and spawn armour. SO GAY!

Re: Should there even be deathstreaks

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:17:02 GMT

They should at least offer an option to turn them off!

Re: Should there even be deathstreaks

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:15:34 GMT

No theyre either useless (juiced) or just really annoy me (final stand, deadmans hand) who wants to lie on the floor in a small hope you can kill someone???

Re: Should there even be deathstreaks

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:54:46 GMT

There should be no deathstreaks, quickscoping, dropshooting, akimbo, killstreaks

That happens to me (and a lot of others) all the time.

Persoanlly I think deathstreaks should not be there. But I use them strategically.

I often leave it at juiced, but I employ dead man's hand when playing domination (esp when playing solo).

I try to cap when I think the coast is clear (and use a trophy to protect myself), but when you entire team is killwhoring I have a choice:

Killwhore and accept a loss

Try and cap and expect to die.

Sometimes it is funny getting a cap while in dead man's hand, or having someone run up behind me (cause I cannot cover every angle myself), t-bag me, then shoot me... I get the cap, I explode, they die.

I laugh.

They should probably just take death streaks out entirely, but there are bigger issues, like spawning that they still need to fix. I am tired of starting out a game 10-0 or 9-0 etc. only to get killed once, then respawn in front of 3 enemies and get shot in the back, over and over and next thing I know I'm 9-5 and haven't even had a chance to fire off a damn shot.

Re: Should there even be deathstreaks

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:51:58 GMT

Absolutely not

Re: Should there even be deathstreaks

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:49:09 GMT

NO!!!!

I would say that. I've gotten 5 in the little I play. It's all about knowing anticipating and reacting. Killstreaks make it hard to anticipate. You go to knife someone, they have martydom. Or you shoot someone behind cover who have final stand and you have to go after them for a kill, they're just sitting there waiting for you.

Deathstreaks are hard to predict and counter
